problem with "history"

Hi, having run into this problem (R's configure not picking up my readline
lib) myself a couple times, I'm wondering whether the 'readline feature'
could be added to the capabilities so that I could do:

capabilities()['readline']

just like I can do today:

capabilities()['tcltk']

tcltk
 TRUE

?
Regards,
  -tom

Instead of "re-compiling" you must "re-configure from scratch" after an OS
upgrade.
I.e.,
        rm config.cache
        {path/}configure
        make
etc

An even more foolproof (but considerably slower) version of the above

would

be to throw away your 1.3.0 installation, and re configure from scratch.
This means that if your build directory is = source, you trash everything,
unpack the tar file again, etc.

I tried the latter option and it didn't solve the problem. I really
can't understand what can be the problem. Anyway, I finally managed to
put R to work with the arrow keys by installing the rpm package made for
SuSE Linux 7.2 (from CRAN) instead of building from source.

Thank you very much for your support

Alberto
